Georgia Uncorked —
The Birthplace of Wine

Eight thousand years before Napa, before Bordeaux — there was Georgia. A small country in the Caucasus where wine is a way of life. Where qvevri clay vessels are buried in the earth and families still make wine the way their ancestors did millennia ago.

Qvevri Cellars & Family Estates

Descend into underground cellars where amber wine has fermented in clay vessels for centuries. Taste wines simply not available in the United States.

The Supra — A Feast Like No Other

Georgia's sacred feast tradition. Hours of elaborate toasts, polyphonic singing, and course after course of khachapuri, churchkhela, and pkhali.

Kakheti Wine Heartland

Rolling vineyards backed by snow-capped Caucasus peaks, 6th-century monasteries, and family guesthouses surrounded by vines. 8,000 years of history, zero crowds.

Tbilisi — The Natural Wine Capital

Cobblestone streets, Art Nouveau architecture, sulfur baths, and wine bars pouring qvevri wines alongside 525 indigenous grape varieties.

Cook. Feast. Explore.

Make khachapuri alongside local women. Visit UNESCO World Heritage monasteries. Discover the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe. Georgia's history is visceral and everywhere.

Slow, Intentional Pacing

Not a checklist. We build in free time, spontaneous detours, and room to breathe. The best travel moments happen when you're not rushing to the next stop.
